Michael Kyeyune | Artist , Illustrator & Tutor |Milton Keynes, UK


Michael Kyeyune was born in Uganda and moved to the UK with his family when he was 11 years old. His love for drawing was evident from an early age, with his artwork covering every surface within reach including walls, tables, and doors.
After completing high school, Michael pursued his passion for art at Coventry University where he studied illustration and animation. Following his graduation in 2013, Michael was eager to jumpstart his career in illustration. A friend’s recommendation led him to a role as a caricaturist at the iconic London Eye. Over the course of a year, Michael honed his skill in capturing likenesses while entertaining audiences with his creativity.


In 2015, Michael founded MKcaricatures to specialise in live drawing at events such as weddings, corporate functions, and parties. As his business grew, he expanded his services to include his now award-winning caricature wedding stationery, commercial illustration and personalised gifts.
Alongside his caricature work, Michael gained two years of tutoring experience, first on the Art Foundation course at North Hertfordshire College and later at Coventry University, where he taught illustration and animation. This experience inspired him to develop his own creative workshops for businesses and private events.
Michael draws at at over 150 live events per year and creates thousands of caricatures for wedding place cards and personalised gifts. He also leads creative team-building workshops for companies and runs art clubs for children in Milton Keynes.
Today, Michael's client list boasts a diverse range of clients, including industry giants such as Microsoft, Mercedes, Samsung, Porsche, John Lewis, Sainsbury’s, Channel 5, Deliveroo, Sky, Mars Petcare, Fulham F.C., BT, Oxford University, Cambridge University, TJX Europe, and many more.
